Narrative:
Tower advised us to turn right on fox taxiway, we went by it and they told us we missed it and gave us revised taxi instructions. No conflict occurred, and they didn't mention any problem with it. We went back the next day and couldn't find any sign marking 'F' from the same runway. Appears to be unmarked from runway 6.
